I proposed to my wife on 12/20/1985
Our 37th anniversary is coming up in September. Unfortunately, doesn’t appear there will be a celebration as we’ve recently (mutually) decided to divorce. Kudos to those that stick it out even after the kids are all grown up and living their own lives.

Crap, That sucks. Sorry for that. At least it's mutual. Since TSO and I
never had kids (met too late in life to entertain that notion), we are not going to divorce. Ever.

I inherited the habit of recalling important life events from my Dad
(FPHNCRIP). The man had a mind and memory like a vault. Not sure there were more than 10 or 20 days in the calendar year that were not of some life significance to him throughout his US Army and Department of State Foreign Service careers. And he remembered all those without the crutches I have - Outlook Calendar & Google calendars on every device I own. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 8/12/2025, 3:21:11 PM

That is pretty cool. I know I must have GOTTEN engaged, because i AM ->
married! Anniversary is the best I can do. Fortunately, my wife's birthday is Juneteenth, so I've got THAT. My hat is off to you Happy Today Day!

I don't think Mrs CPA and I ever had an engagement date.
It was just kind of assumed after 7 or 8 months that we were probably getting married. We were together 11 months when she moved into my place... got married another 14 months after that. I don't think I asked if she wanted to get married, more so... when are we gonna do this? 😆

TSO and I met in 2001, began cohabitation in 2003. Engagement & wedding
were in 2013. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 8/12/2025, 3:22:19 PM ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 8/12/2025, 5:18:20 PM
